5.00Fantastic 1 hour trip around the harbour. Great photo ops and the narrator was very knowledgeable and even made a funny or two.
Take taxi or Ferry to Toronto Islands instead.

3.00Crowded and view was [partially blocked by doors open. I suggest to take a water taxi or ferry to Toronto Islands instead.

4.00Make sure you get there before the time on your ticket. We got there at two and the boat was already leaving.. We had to wait another half an hour for the next cruise. To the tour company I suggest that you have somewhere on the ticket an earlier boarding time.
Fun experience

5.00Nice trip. Informative and lovely. Views were pretty and narrative was informative. Nice way to pass the afternoon.
Good way to see Toronto skyline from afar without going to Toronto Islands

5.00We didn’t have time to get a ferry to Toronto Islands but this boat tour gave us the incredible views of Toronto that we were after. Arrived half an hour early to ensure we could choose where we sat (top deck on the left for the best photos). Commentary was great and we saw a lot. Would recommend.
Put it on your to do list when in Toronto

4.00Great way to get a view of Toronto from offshore and cruise into the islands. Good and interesting commentary.
It was a gorgeous day in...

5.00It was a gorgeous day in Toronto. This is a comfortable, easy boat ride for about 45-50min. There is a narration too, though it was a bit difficult to hear. The guide was speaking fine, it's just that the sound system didn't carry so well all the way to the back of the boat which is where we sat. Combined with the wind, it was tough to hear. Despite that, there's a drink/snack bar and this was a great way to spend an hour on the lake during a summer afternoon.
